Einstein • Einstein, age 26, working at a Swiss Patent Office, published papers in 1905: §Sparked the quantum theory of light §Showed that atoms were real §Introduced a theory of space and time, called Special Relativity §Discovered E=mc 2. • Einstein worked 10 years to generalize Special Relativity and Newton’s Theory of Gravity, resulting in General Relativity. • Others contributed: Lorentz, Poincaré, Minkowski, Grossmann, Hilbert, … • Einstein revolutionized our concepts of space and time!

Some Far Out Ideas • • The faster you go the slower time goes. Nothing can go faster than light. Gravity disappears when you free fall. Sources of gravity warp space and time; gravity slows down time. • Black holes really are like holes in space. • Worm holes through space and time could exist within our universe or to other universes. • Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime. LIGO is searching for these waves, with black holes as one possible source. LIGO-G 070035 -00 -W LIGO-G 060233 -00 -W

Einstein’s Key Idea, 1905 • Galileo & Newton: motion is relative; speeds are additive. • Newton thought light was made of particles. • Sound is a wave moving through the air or some material. The speed of sound (741 mph) is fixed to the rest frame of the air. We can catch sound. • By analogy, in 1905 light was thought to be a wave moving through the “aether”. Experiments could not measure the aether or detect changes in the speed of light due to relative motion. • Einstein: we cannot catch light; no experiment can detect absolute motion; there is no aether; the speed of light is the same for all observers.

Relativity and GPS • Due to the orbital speed, clocks on the satellite lose 7 microseconds per day • Due to the weaker gravitational field, clocks on the satellite gain 45 microseconds per day • Satellite clocks gain a net of 38 microsecond per day • Distance error = c*38 microseconds; c = 186, 000 miles per second. • Without calibrating clocks to account for Relativity, GPS distance would be off by 7 miles after one day!
